Remember I told you the other day about Liverpool supporters passing out fliers that said “give the owners the red card” referring to American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett, well now it is gone even further. (I’m not sure how new this is) They have a website…Yanksout.com. It is dedicated to “get the liars out of their club.”
Co-owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks secured £350 million in refinancing on their original £200 million-plus takeover loan from Feb. 2007.
A spokesman for Hicks said, that despite the original statement that only £105 million would be charged to the club, Liverpool will be hit with the remaining £245 million, which is now on the books of Kop Football Ltd., the vehicle Hicks and Gillett used to take over the club.
That new loan will cost Liverpool about £30 million in annual interest payments.
